Splurge or Save Thursday: Double-Faced Pea Coat
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
COS is known for well-made, of-the-moment pieces that look more expensive than they really are, like this modern peacoat.
Made from a soft, double-faced wool blend, this classic is updated with a relaxed fit and shawl collar you can button all the way up. I really like it in “mole,” a soft taupe, but it also comes in classic black (lucky sizes only).
This coat is $275 and comes in sizes XXS-L.
If you like a more classic silhouette, consider this coat from L.L.Bean (available in three colors as well as regular, petite, and plus sizes) for $249.

I don’t think I can emotionally handle the news cycle for the next four years. The Matt Gaetz thing is so upsetting. I’d like to take a step back from reading the news as much but I don’t know what other media to consume! Please send any recommendations for fun or interesting media that won’t make me feel like the world is burning.
Those of you with a partner who frequently travels for work, give it to me straight: How bad is it?
My husband hates his current job. Has for years, but he works in a niche field so it’s not easy to just find a new job. He found a job opportunity and had an interview that went well BUT this job would require frequent regional travel that could vary week to week. Some weeks he may be gone a day, some 3-4 days. I don’t want him to continue being in a job he hates, but the idea of solo parenting that much exhausts me. I already solo parent fairly frequently because he is in the reserves.
We only have 1 son (4ish) with no plans to have more kids. My parents are an hour away, but have mobility issues. My job is reasonably flexible. I do have the bigger career, and I don’t want to push the limits on flexibility.
My youngest is 23 months and showing interest in the toilet. He will say “pee” and take off all his clothes and try to pee in the toilet. Nothing comes out. He knows when he has pooped (but is usually unbothered). Is he ready to potty train? My oldest son we didn’t try until he was 35 months and got it very quickly even though he showed no interest. My youngest is not super verbal but seems eager, but I don’t know if I’m mentally ready for this. Thoughts?
Should a toddler be able to recognize people, or is that a learned/developmental skill?
My 2.5yo was certain a girl at the library was good friend A, from a few paces away, clear light, plenty of time. The hair was slightly similar, but this was definitely a total stranger.
I remember being similarly confused a lot when I was his age. But I have prosopagnosia and severe nearsightedness, so it’s not a good frame of reference.
There was a poster here who posted about her kid who was a bit of a “caboose” vs. her other kids – I think he should be 5-5.5 now, maybe older. I remember she posted about waiting a year for K based on the advise of his OT, ped, ST, etc.
Checking in – how are you and how is is kiddo doing? I think of your posts often because I have a similar kid.
Ugh, it feels like such a slog til Winter break, and we’ve got no teacher work days between now and December 20th. My husband is stricter about school attendance than I am, but I’m lobbying for the last Friday in November for a family mental health day. Husband is off anyways, I’m fried, kiddo only has 3 hours of school on Fridays… let’s just go to Dishoom for breakfast and ride the ferris wheel at the Christmas market. I’ll make him do some math worksheets or something.
